This weekly chance to add to your reading list is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

Boy, I don't know what the temperature are like where you are today, but here they are cold! We had a high of zero degrees on Sunday, and subzero wind chills pretty much all weekend. We ran some errands Saturday evening (very romantic Valentine's Day, I know. Don't worry, we did plenty of fun things, too!), and it was such a shock to keep going from warm stores to the freezing outdoors. At times like this, I am so grateful to have a nice, warm house to live in!

My Recent Posts

What I Read Last Week

Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens (This is my first Dickens book in quite awhile. My thoughts will be posted Thursday!)

What I'm Reading Now

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee (I read this one a couple of years ago, but my book club decided to read it for our February selection, since half of our members had never read it before. I have no problem whatsoever rereading this fantastic book!)

I did enjoy Oliver Twist. I'm looking forward to reading more Dickens. I think TKAM is one of those books I could reread every year and get something different out of it each time. I can't wait for the sequel to shed new light on it!

I can imagine that the musical version would be quite different indeed. I think Oliver Twist would be a good Dickens to start with. I haven't read much of his work yet, but it seems to be a more uncomplicated one.

My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.
